<P>
With the function manager you can manage all of your functions that do the actual
work of automating your lights. You can create new functions, remove and edit existing
ones as well as create copies of them. Controls are on the upper part of the window;
the lower part displays all of your functions as well as the function editor for the
currently selected function (if any).
</P>

<P>
Each function type can be found under its own category: Scene for scenes, EFX for EFX's etc.
When a new function is created or an existing one selected, the appropriate editor is
chosen and displayed on the right hand side of the Function Manager window. Changes made in the
editor pane are stored immediately in the functions themselves and no additional OK clicks
are required.
</P>
